What is Quertle

Biomedical researchers rely on access to the biomedical literature, almost on a daily basis. Yet the overwhelming volume of content usually presents an expensive roadblock to finding the facts they needs.

Enter Quertle - a revolutionary way for researchers to search biomedical information and find the crucial facts. Quertle provides actual answers to questions, saving the researchers significant time and money. Seeking Knowledge

"Quertle fills a critical void in our ability to find information in the biomedical literature"

- Head of Bioinformatics, a leading pharmaceutical company

Going well-beyond typical results lists of thousands, and sometimes hundreds of thousands of documents, Quertle uses its proprietary technology to present the user with the key facts relevant to their query, in context. This enhanced technique is quick and easy, removes the huge time strain of inefficiently sorting through piles of data, and minimizes the risk of missing critical information.

Why Advertise on Quertle

Measurable Effectiveness
Advertising on Quertle provides measurable effectiveness. No guessing how many people saw your print advertisement, no wondering how many of the ones that did were prompted to get more information. Quertle quantifiably delivers customers.

Focused Audience
Quertle is focused on biomedical and biological science researchers. This group (over 10 million world-wide), with a collective budget of about $100 Billion each year, is the most relevant to your pharmaceutical, biomedical, and agrichemical products and services.

Quertle users are not simply "web surfing", looking at the latest news or seeing what's new in the latest issue. They are searching for information critical to their research and are more receptive to finding information on products that will further their research goals.

Semantic Targeting
Quertle offers highly-targeted ad placement. Going well-beyond simple keyword matching, Quertle uses the same semantic engine that finds the most relevant documents to match your ad with the user's interest. And, using Quertle's Power Terms™, your ad can even be connected to entire classes of entities.

Unique, Semantic-targeted Advertising

Ad Style Designed for the Audience
The style of the advertisements on the Quertle site have been fine-tuned with the target audience in mind. With the Quertle team being experimentalists, we did the research to find out what ad style would be most looked at by our target audience. It isn't banner ads, fancy pictures in boxes, or dancing girls like other sites use. Biomedical researchers are much more likely to read text that contains concepts relevant to them. Thus, Quertle marries text with small logos (to gain brand and logo recognition).

Researching What Works

Proven Effectiveness
The mindset of Quertle's users and the design of ads on the site combine to make Quertle highly effective. Quertle's historical click-through rate (CTR) averages over 3%, with some ads reaching over 5% CTR.

Effective Advertising

Unique Opportunities
Besides traditional advertising, Quertle offers some unique methods to reach your customers.

Whitepapers and posters - User's have been asking Quertle for more content, especially scientific whitepapers and research posters from the vendors. They find these valuable, but have no easy way to search for the ones that are relevant. Your whitepaper or poster can be submitted for indexing by the Quertle search engine. When it is relevant to a user's query, it will be shown, not as an advertisement, but along with other results. There is a one-time processing fee to have your document included, but no further impression or click-through charges. Plus, the result listing will include a link back to your corporate site so the user can download the full document.

Power Terms™ - Searches on Quertle can include Power Terms, which represent entire classes of entities. Power Terms are one of Quertle's most utilized features, with the list of Power Terms being viewed by almost all users. This provides a unique opportunity for product and brand visibility through Power Term sponsorship. Quertle can also create custom Power Terms. For example, your available antibodies, cell lines, etc. could be a Power Term, enabling users to search for a method, knowing that needed reagents or materials would be commercially-available. [Note: for full-text documents, Quertle searches the entire document, including Materials and Methods!]
